"I think it was a verbal fight, then got physical, but other than that it's pretty reckless," Eberhardt said.

"Like, the story got real exaggerated, hard core. It went from a one-on-one to two guys beating up one kid to seven guys on one kid," student Juan Melendez said.

West Allis Deputy Chief Charles Padgett said those rumors are keeping officers busy.

"We're still investigating because of all the rumors, Facebook, social media," Padgett said.

This is what police said they officially know right now: "The only thing I know is we have one juvenile taken to the hospital for facial injuries, and one taken into custody for involvement for those injuries. It was sent for review to the D.A.'s office for children's court center," Padgett said. "Sounds like some kind of an ongoing friction between friends, groups of friends and it came to a head in the bathroom there."

Katie Kemp has class with the injured student and also said he wasn't bullied.

"He had a lot of friends here. A lot of people like him and like being friends with him," Kemp said.

The district sent a letter to parents informing them about the incident at Nathan Hale.

On Thursday, the superintendent was not in the office to answer questions about the case, and school officials said they are not commenting at this time, referring everything to West Allis police.
